Morning all...once again welcome to our 5 o'clock feeding :) Zachary slept from 9 to 5 last night! What a sweet baby. Today is another early day for us as we will visit the cu chi tunnels. I am pretty certain there will be no snakes or monkey issues! Yesterday was perhaps the most uncomfortable weather day we've had...very hot and humid. We visited the Saigon history museum and zoo. Zachary slept through most of his first zoo experience...and I did not provoke any monkeys. Later in the day we went to the War Remnants museum. This is not like our museums in terms of quality of exhibits, but the capturing of their understanding of history was very clear and poignant. There were many sobering statistics and photos of Vietnamese whose lives were lost or forever impacted by the tragedy of war. One definitely left with a feeling of war of any kind is senseless. Zachary on the other hand discovered he really likes his voice...really, really, likes it! Imagine a cavernous room of a sparsely filled museum with echo friendly concrete walls and a very happy and loud baby...lets just say he was a wonderful bubbly contrast to the depressing displays. The best of humanity being heard in the midst of the worst of humanity:) We love you all and are enjoying your reponses to our blog. Melissa is going to try and post a video soon of the Mekong River trip...we captured some beautiful footage.
